I have a problem. Every time I run the VisSim, I get 4 message boxes "can't load addon DLL '***.dll' (cbi.dll, natinst.dll, natinstmx.dll, vsmCamPeak.dll)" , but I find the DLL files in the folder (D:\Program Files\VisSim70 ). What should I do?

Looking for your information. Thanks a lot.

These DLL's require driver files

Hi Joe, The VisSim addon DLL's you mention are interfaces to hardware devices. For the DLL to load, you must install the hardware device drivers from the manufacturer of the device:

You can remove the DLL's by opening Edit > Preferences... > Addons, then highlight the DLL that give the error and press the delete key.

But those sites have so many files...

Which should I use?

Use the ones that match your hardware.

The VisSim/CAN and VisSim/RTPro addons work with hardware boards to bring data in and write data out of VisSim in real-time. If you don't have the hardware boards, then don't install these addons.
